It’s not worth the porting hassle, and as the glibc manual says, “this function is generally a poor choice for processing strings”. * admin/merge-gnulib (GNULIB_MODULES): Remove stpncpy. * exec/configure.ac: Do not check for stpncpy. * exec/exec.c (rpl_stpncpy, stpncpy): Remove this replacement. (exec_0): Properly clear buffer1. Use memcpy instead of stpncpy to add the trailing name. This code is clearly still suboptimal but efficiency is not that important here and I tried to minimize the change. * lib/gnulib.mk.in, m4/gnulib-comp.m4: Regenerate.
This directory holds the source code to a library used to replace the `execve' and `execveat' system calls, used by the Android port of Emacs to start executables without intervention from the system.
